Auxiliary selection in Spanish : gradience, gradualness, and conservation /
Although usage-based linguistics emphasises the need for studies of language change to take frequency effects into account, there is a lack of research that tries to systematically model frequency effects and their relation to diffusion processes in language change. This monograph offers a diachroni...
